Will Rhoten met Herby through a shelter post and immediately knew he was meant to be his dog. After learning Herby needed complex heart surgery, Will rallied community support to give him a second chance. Today, Herby has become a beloved Dallas icon and the inspiration behind Herby’s Burgers—proof that one scared shelter dog can bring people together. @herbysburger

Dallas artist Fatima Vasquez, born in Mexico and raised in Texas, has always found joy in art and animals. Her colored-pencil portrait honors Andres, her beloved companion of 13 years. After his passing, drawing became a way to carry him forward. This peaceful portrait captures Andres resting in the grass and celebrates the simple joys they shared. Contact: fvas2505@gmail.com

Maxwell Rasor learned wire sculpture from his father, a wire sculptor and art teacher. Today, steel baling wire and discarded materials become expressive sculptures of animals, insects, and more. Dogs are among his favorite subjects, inspiring an ongoing ambitious project to sculpt all 200 American Kennel Club-recognized breeds. Each sculpture celebrates the unique personality and character of its breed. @rasor_made rasormade.portfoliobox.net

Sophia Dembling moved to Dallas in 1982 and made Oak Cliff her home in 1987. After a career in publishing, writing, and editing, she returned to her first love: art. Her acrylic painting of Millie captures the little dog’s independent spirit and joyful presence along the Kiestwood Trail—a playful tribute to neighborhood walks, companionship, and following where the adventure leads. sophiadembling.com/art

Notty
Powder-coated steel and plexi
Welder, fabricator, and co-owner of Les Jardins de Pascale, James Bauer spent three decades mastering metal fabrication, building flight-rated rocket engines and pressure vessels for NASA- and FAA-certified aerospace vehicles, welding exotic alloys like titanium and Inconel, and training under NASA's head welder. His engineering background shapes his sculptural forms: he's drawn to the triangle for its strength and lightness, while polka dots bring a playful spirit to the structure. Red-green color-blind, Bauer chooses colors by how he perceives them, the deep blue dots against orange creating strong contrast within his visual spectrum and becoming essential to the design.
